A Comparative Study ofthe Fine Needle Aspiration versus Fine Needle Non-Aspiration Technique ofCytodiagnosisinthe Lymph Nodes Swellings
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2019, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Fine Needle Aspiration cytology (FNAC) is the first line technique in the diagnosis of lymph node swellings. It is quick, simple, inexpensive, minimally invasive. Fine Needle Non aspiration technique (FNNAC) have also been introduced. Objectives: To compare FNAC and FNNAC techniques in lymph node swellings. Methods: The study was conducted in tertiary centre for one year of duration. Cases of lymph nodes were sampled using both FNAC and FNNAC techniques. They were compared using Mair’s point scoring system. Statistically analysis was done using student’s t- test. Results: Most of the cases of lymph node swellings, 78/208 (37.50%), were falling in the age group of 20-29 years with male to female ratio of 1:1.7. All lymph nodes swellings were diagnostically categorized into nonneoplastic (n=183), metastatic tumors (n=19) and lymphoproliferative disorders (n=6). FNNAC were more likely to be diagnostically superior in 109/208 cases (52.40%). The FNAC smears were more likely to be diagnostically adequate in 131/208 cases (62.98%). Conclusion: FNAC yielded better amount of cellular material than FNNAC but diagnostically superior specimen was obtained from FNNAC.
